Hello
I hope I have put this question on the correct thread.
Can anyone recommend a decent removal firm in the Edinburgh area?
Moving about 70 miles to another part of Scotland.
Any firms out there you would never use again?
thank you!
Anyone

    Try a local FB group. I see loads of local questions like this on my local FB sites. Of course someone here may be able to advise, but you're targeting the whole of the UK on here. You might want to at least put the area in your title :) (go 'advanced' edit)

    I used Broughton Removals twice, once to move out of Edinburgh to Fife, then from Fife to Perthshire. No problems either time (although it was 16 and 13 years ago).

    I have used Lowes Logistics of Glenrothes twice - once to move from Forfar to Dundee and then a couple of months ago from Dundee to Cheshire. Excellent service!

    I helped a relative move from Edinburgh to Yorkshire, they used Clockwork and seemed to do a good job (I was the one who dealt with the removal at the Edinburgh end).

    Another vote for Kerrs here. Used them for my last move and I couldn't fault them on anything.

    we used broughton removals and they were very good with wrapping packing and moving. They even stored my car and drove it down to England for me when we moved.
